Enoch Translated to Heaven
Enoch walks with God and is taken without seeing death.
Enoch walked with God three hundred years after begetting Methuselah, and he walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Hebrews 11 testifies that by faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, because before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
